Our aim is to offer a high quality reliable inclusive service, when you need it, at affordable prices. PlayDay Nursery was recently proud to receive a Level 2 QC award from the NDNA

The happiness and welfare of each child is our first priority. We provide a safe and stimulating environment for children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age. The Management and staff are dedicated to providing quality, loving care and provide an effective environment which will give a firm basis for meeting the educational needs of babies and children ie implementing the the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.

We offer open communication and involvement for you as parents thus providing you with 'peace of mind'. The team at Playday are conscious that as a parent you want your child to spend the day with someone you can trust and someone who really cares - someone who recognises the demands you face as a busy, loving parent.

We consider that we do our utmost to assist with the development of childcare places and work in partnership with local agencies eg local schools, colleges and training agencies, SureStart County Durham, the local SureStart programme and Sedgefield Borough Council, and the community as a whole.

Playday Nursery provides a high quality, friendly service where parents can leave their child with peace of mind in a homely setting.

We promote each child’s development through child centred play and appropriate activities under the supervision of a team of dedicated and qualified staff.

We work closely with parents and all agencies within our community in the best interests of the child.

Our nursery is a privately owned establishment which opened in November 1995. We are registered with Office for Standards in Education (OfSTED) for 54 places.

We work in partnership with Durham County Council Local Education Authority, receiving education grants on behalf of children aged three and over which reduces fees considerably.
